The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

Since that day, his father and second uncle have found a job in the town.

From what his father and second uncle said, Li Wen roughly guessed that Qingping Town is close to the Dahe River Basin, and it is likely to be a certain branch of the Yangtze River Basin.Every year in March, when the spring warms up, the upper reaches of the river thaw and the waterway can be used. Ships traveling between the north and the south pass by here, passing through Qingping Town on the way.

So every year at this time, just after the spring plowing, there is not so much farm work in the field, and the men from the nearby villages will go to the town's wharf to find work, and his father and second uncle went there to find work. Most of the work is manual work, hard work, and not much money in hand.But even if the money is low, for families like them with little income, people who are not afraid of hard work are still willing to do it.

It is reasonable to say that their place is a transportation hub, and it is not considered a closed place. Why does Li Wen think that the people here are living in such a poor way?However, there are also factors of time and people, just like they are close to the mountains, except in the era of drought and famine, people dare to go to the mountains to eat when they are extremely hungry.If food can be grown in the fields, no one is willing to risk their lives to find food in the mountains. After all, there are man-eating beasts waiting in the mountains.

And for the same reason, now that the world is peaceful and people's lives are going well, most people will be content with the status quo, and they don't have the idea of ​​changing their current living conditions and trying their best to make their lives better. Consciousness, this is also a question of the limitations of people's thinking in an era because of the era.

This is why historians of later generations analyzed the social state in ancient times. This is a reason why people were in a self-sufficient social state of small-scale peasant economy. Most people were content with the status quo and the society stagnated.

But now no matter what Li Wen, a kid with an adult soul, thinks in his heart, it’s all fantasy to put it bluntly. He has never even been out of Li’s Village. I have never seen it with my own eyes, let alone went to see the world myself.

After his father and second uncle went to the town to do work, they didn't return home from the town until it was almost dark at night.

Recently, the family didn't let him go out very much. Only then did Li Wen know that the old cow was brought back by his second uncle that day. Fortunately, the cow didn't disappear, otherwise he wouldn't be able to pay for it if he sold it.But now it's others' turn to look at the cows in the family, and it will be their turn next time, so he doesn't even have the job of herding cattle.

Life at home is very boring, Li Wen wanted to go out to play, but his family didn't allow it, his grandma and grandma looked at him like a puppet, for fear that people outside would take him away.

"Father, Second Uncle, you are back." Seeing his father coming back, Li Wen hurriedly ran over, looked up at his father who was as tall as a mountain, and wondered when he would grow up to be like him. He is as tall as his father.

According to modern calculations, his father's height is more than 1.7 meters and nearly 1.8 meters. This height is considered very high in this world.But his second uncle was not considered tall, so Li Wen thought that his biological father might look like a dead grandfather, while his second uncle looked more like his grandma.

I just don't know if he will inherit his father's stature and grow taller in the future. Of course, Li Wen hopes that he can be like his father.

"Sambo is playing in the courtyard." Second Uncle Li came back, saw his nephew, and even patted his head.Seeing his own daughter, Li Laoer didn't seem to have much enthusiasm. Seeing his mother sitting in the yard, Li Laoer called out "Mother."

When Li Wang saw her two sons coming back, she answered when the second son asked her.

"Well, Dad is back. Did you listen to your mother and grandma at home today? Where is your mother?" Li Shanshan looked down at the boy who was not up to his thigh. After all, it was his own son, man After thinking about it, he still bent down and picked up his son.

The father and son looked at each other, and Li Wen, who was being hugged by his father, looked embarrassed. He wanted his father to put him down, but he thought it would be okay for his father to hug him at his age, so he let him go His own father hugged him.

Li Wen said, "Three Treasures have listened to what Auntie said. If you don't believe me, you can ask Auntie. Auntie is in the kitchen."

Sun Yi, who was in the kitchen, heard voices outside and knew that the man had come back. The woman came out with food, put it on the table outside, and said, "Husband, second uncle, you are back, you are back in the pot." There is food left for you, it’s still hot. You’re hungry, come over to eat, I’ll get you two sets of bowls and chopsticks.”

"Well, good." Li Shanshan put his son down, walked over, and sat down to eat.

Uncle Li also sat down to eat.

The two men worked outside for a whole day, and they still ate the steamed buns they brought from home for lunch, and their stomachs were not quite full after eating it.Now that I came back from the outside, I was really hungry, so the two brothers started to eat in big mouthfuls.

After the two men in the family went to the town to go to work, the family didn't wait for them to come back after eating, because sometimes they didn't come home until it was dark when they were late, and the whole family ate first, and there was food left in the pot for them.

Seeing that her late husband and second uncle were eating, Sun Yi went to get bath water for her son, and the woman shouted from the room, "Sambo, come back to take a bath."

"Oh, Auntie, I'll come." Li Wen wanted to pester his father to talk, but he glanced behind him, and ran over to his Aunt anyway.

After he came out of the bath and his father had finished his meal, Li Wen ran over to pester his father and asked him about his father's work in the town.Li Shanshan was not surprised by this either, he just thought that his son was curious about the outside world, so he would answer whatever his son asked him, and it was rare for his son to get close to his father.

Sun Yi, who came out of the room, saw the father and son talking, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
